Salonenque Olives

Salonenque Olives are grown mostly to make Vallée des Baux Cracked Olives with, though they are also used for oil.

The flesh of the olives separates easily from the pit. The oil yield is average.

The tree can pollinate itself sometimes, but not always reliably. It flowers early, and the olives ripen late. The tree is cold tolerant.

Salonenque trees are grown in Provence, specifically in the area of the mouth of the Rhone river, particularly in the Vallée des Baux, where the tree accounts for over 60% of the trees planted there (as of 2004.)

Language Notes

Salonenque is the variety name: you never buy them under this name.

Other names

French: Plant de salon, Salonenque
